to me this song is about the uselessness of material possessions. expensive jewelry and clothes won't help you when you're dying, they won't keep you alive. if you spend your whole life just collecting things and chasing fame and wealth, you'll likely die unhappy..having enough to survive and be happy, that's when you got plenty and shouldn't go chasing wealth, because being rich doesn't mean you'll be happy until you die.
